Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392: Unleashing Power and Performance

This engine is the same as that found in other 392 variants, including the Dodge Challenger, Charger, Durango, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT.
With 450 horsepower and 637 Nm of torque, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds and complete a quarter-mile drag in 13 seconds. These impressive numbers highlight the thrilling off-road capabilities of this heavy SUV.
